A couple weeks ago, at a summer school volunteer orientation, one of the questions on our totally-not-corny-at-all icebreaker was "What would you choose as your theme song?"

I was stumped and after a quick sec I made up some cheese about how for the Summer my theme song is "Stayin' Alive" because courses and working are trying to end me.

Ever since then I've been a-thinkin... and I've decided I don't like that answer. I've got a few other theme songs I hope will get me through the Summer and on into next year without a trip to the looney bin.

First up, workout theme song... the neverending battle with the bulge deserves something tried and true. It's been in my workout mix for YEARS, and it still gets me pumped. Sometimes when I'm feeling extra proud of myself, it even gets me a little emotional. Drum roll please..........

Now, I know this song is all about some dude who did her wrong— but all I hear is "blahblahblah FIGHTER" so it's all good.

Up next we have my general, end-of-a-day of accomplishment song. I hum this one in my head when I know I'm on my game... homework is done, awesome dinner is on the table, place is tidy... just the simple pleasures that make you feel good, cue Mr. Bublé:

Now onto the ultimate in cheeseballiness (yes, I believe I just made that word up). This is my "I can do ANYTHING" song. I hear this, and I swear I can leap tall buildings in a single bound. OK, maybe not that... but I at least feel as though I can handle whatever is around the corner... try not to judge me too harshly for this one:

Yes, I know... and I'm OK with it. "Wicked" is awesome. Do yourself a favor and go see it if you haven't.

Let's see... who's up next? Aww yes, the hubster. We don't actually have a "song," so my relationship theme song du jour is just a little something I hear that makes me smile, and he knows makes me think of him.
